Okay, so for this second video of my favourite stuff, I tried including my son Max. Much laughter, ripping of the microphone and some tears later, and here’s my video. A huge thanks once again to Gary Meyer and Saul Kropman for putting together the video, and for being excellent babysitters too. Please note
I adore these amazing kiddies’ glasses that are worth eyeing out. These glasses and sunnies come from Zoobug, a British kid’s eyewear company specialising in spectacles, and they have dozens of cool styles to match their personalities. Zoobug’s range is full of coloured, old-school vintage design shapes and even includes the Harry Potter style and
So for something different this month, I’ve taken to vlogging (video blogging) for the first time. I prefer writing and NOT being in front of a camera, but I sucked up my fears, took some ResQ Remedy, and asked videographers Saul Kropman and Gary Meyer to make my first video post, about some of
This is a sponsored post for Huggies Wet wipes are like a distant cousin of nappies. They are probably used more than nappies, are needed longer than nappies, and have multiple uses – I even use mine to remove makeup when I’m tired, clean my car, and even my laptop and cellphone, and that’s just
When I had my baby, I really wanted a non-tacky or chintzy piece of jewellery or “charm” symbolising my new motherhood. Unfortunately, I never found anything suitable, but three-and-a-half years later, I’ve found a site that stocks and delivers gorgeous pieces for moms, kids and babies. Merci Maman is a UK-based store that has personalised disk
This product was given to me for review When I was a child, I had a friend with a Sodastream machine. I’m not sure if she was cool despite the Sodastream, or because of it, but I used to love going to her house for green or red fizzy goodness whenever I could. Last week,
I’ve blogged about it before, but here I am again, to rave about the Jeankelly bag, and to let you know that it’s now available from Baby City Fourways, Woodmead, East Rand, West Rand, Centurion and Kensington for R999.99 (it’s also available from the website). I have tried around five nappy bags, and this is one
This pram costs $3 000. Which, according to the curent exchange rate, is R27 173,17. That’s pretty much what I sold my old Toyota Conquest for a few years ago. This stroller is a collaboration between Aston Martin (of James Bond fame) and Silver Cross, and is deemed “the most exclusive pram in the world”.
I have used Philips Avent bottles and products (steriliser, and breast pump, pads and cups) since my baby was born. So when I was invited to the launch at the end of last year of the new Philips Avent “Natural” range, I was a bit reluctant as I’d become attached and connected to the old
The last time I had this much fun trying out something was with the new pink iPod Touch. And I really wasn’t expecting to have so much fun; I thought I’d get some new stationery, give it to my son, and if we liked, I’d write about it. But I’ve pretty much relived my youth, though in
A few weeks ago I posted about the iPotty, now there’s the iRock. it looks like a classic rocking chair, but has a docking station on the right armrest, suitable for iPads, iPods and iPhones (and even includes an iPhone 5 adapter – they’ve thought of everything). There’s the discreet, built-in speakers on the headrest.
I know many things improve with time and development, but if there’s something I miss from my childhood, it’s Fisher Price toys, now known as Fisher Price nostalgia. Here is what I’m longing for, and who remembers these? Before lots of technology and TV, these toys filled our play areas and gave so much happiness,
Just in case your toddler is needing some entertainment while on the potty, there’s the new iPotty… It features an iPad docking station with a mini toilet, and was just launched at the 2013 International CES. It will be sold on Amazon, for around $40 (minus the iPad). You decide whether you think this
How fab are this back-to-school products from Exclusive Books? Available until the 25th of January, the back-to-school range includes Crayola, Legami journals, dictionaries, learning mats, Lamy pens, mushroom erasers, and slogan erasers.  
I not-so-secretly confess that when I got sent these Woolworths back-to-school items, I thought how much fun and use I’d get out of keeping them. Barring the jumbo waxies, and maybe the backpack, these items make great additions to my office and snack/lunch routines. 1. Chalkboard calendar 2. Plastic Lego-inspired notebook 3. A4 counter book
If you’re looking for an effective product that makes the bugs bug off, without being harmful to your kids or the environment, then you should try Eco.kid Bug-a-Bug hypo allergenic repellant. I’m not a fan of hardcore repellants or Deet for little ones, I find Citronella oil messy and foul-smelling, and the one “natural thing”
Thank you to Vickie Gilbert for spilling her handbag. I’m not sure how that slab of Lindt survived a few hours… In my handbag: Cellphone Wallet Hair band Hair brush Lip ice (3 different kinds) Blue toiletry bag (with 3 types of lipstick/lip gloss and a small mascara) Red toiletry bag (with hand cream, breath
You often hear of competitions where you can win R1 million, but you never meet the winner. Or you hear of already wealthy people winning cars and money, when you kind of wanted them to go somewhere else. Well, yesterday, I not only met a winner, but one whose life and kids’ futures have changed
